VII NEW ORLEANS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 1929 TEAM IS CHOSEN TO DEBATE RIPON, NORTHWESTERN Harold Rouchell and Carl Buchmann Merit Honors In Prelims The preliminary trials for the selection of the first Loyola intercollegiate debating team resulted in the choice of Carl Buchmann and Harold Rouchell as members of the team, with John Oulliber and Gerard Rault as first and second alternates, respectively. The contest was held in Marquette auditorium on Saturday evening with eight of the foremost debaters of the Thespians competing. A five minute speech was delivered by each contestant on either side of the question: "Resolved, that the jury system should Tbe abolished." Thg judges were lathers Cavey, Burke and de Monsabert of the Philosophy and English departments of the university. Buchmann and Rouchell will represent Loyola in the debate against Ripon College on February 18, and against Northwestern University sometime in March. In the Ripon debate, Loyola will argue for the abolition of the jury system; final arrangements for the Northwestern contest have not yet been completed. Rouchell is a junior in the Arts and Science department and is secretary of the Thespians. Before attending Loyola, he was a member of the Jesuits' debating team and dramatic society. Buchmann, while only a sophomore, has had considerable experience in debating and acting while at Jesuits and Loyola. Last year, the two members of Loyola's new debating team opposed one another in the freshman-sophomore debate, this year being by queer coincidence the first time they are working together on the same side of the rostrum.

To the most popular man, one pair of shoes by the Imperial Shoe Store, and one tie by Rubenstein's. To the handsomest man, one Stetson hat by Marks Isaacs, and one tie by Rubenstein's. To the best dressed man, one shirt by Godchaux, one tie and handkerchief by Porters. To the best spirited Loyolan, one shirt by Godchaux, one tie by Smollen.

The young people of this generation will raise their own children more strictly than any generation in centuries." COMING GENERATION WILL BE BETTER. SAYS FATHER LORD The next generation will usher in an era of unparalleled strictness in morals and manners. The young people who today are seeking so much freedom will reverse themselves when they become parents. They won't let their children get away with the things they themselves are getting away with now. That, at least, is the opinion of Father Daniel A. Lord, S. J., who has had sufficient experience with the younger generation to know whereof he speaks. As the director of the largest organization of college men and women in the world, Father Lord has for the past eighteen months been lecturing at various colleges throughout the country and has been holding spiritual conventions throughout the United States. In his extensive tour he has acquired an intimate insight into the currents of thought in the present-day high schools and universities. And he is not in the least worried lest the young people of the so-called "jazz age" have forgotten religion. "On the contrary," he says, "this is an age of intense feeling about religion. Those who believe in religion do so with all their hearts. Those who are opposed to it, are violently opposed. There is no middle ground. No one is indifferent, and that is a god sign." Father Lord, who inaugurated his career as a Jesuit as a professor at St. Louis University, has had wide and varied exverience in the teaching field in addition to being one of the most gifted Jesuit writers and editor-in-chief of "Queen's Work."

This hearing, announced Rev. Wallace Burk in a recent radio address, will give a commercial station, KVOO, an opportunity to fight again for a claim, previously denied, to obtain full-time use of a national broadcasting channel now clear and allotted to stations WWL of Loyola and KWKH of Shreveport. The hearing to the Tulsa station, which is operated by the Southwestern Sales Corporation, was originally set for January 29 but was postponed to February 20, when the Loyola and the Shreveport stations, which have vested property rights, must defend themselves against the aggressions of the Tulsa corporation. In opposition to the rival claim, Father Burk said that the State of Oklahoma already has far greater radio facilities than has Louisiana and that the allotment of this channel to the Tulsa company would deprive this state of rights vested in it by the Federal Commission. The university, he added, has expended a large sum of money since acquiring this channel and is entitled to protection thereof. Father Burk impressed upon his hearers the fact that this hearing is in itself an injustice to Loyola because WWL has never been in a position to use her full power owing to the fact that they could not obtain certain necessary equipment.

The club will appear in the costume of students at the most famous of all European universities, and sing a half do?-:: of the famuU* college songs 'Df the historic school.

The songs will provide a splendid opportunity for the club to make a brilliant appearance before the community. Had the play been a less notable one, it is not likely that the club would have found it possible to take part in the production, since the dates conflict with the examination period. College authorities, however, recognized the excellent opportunity which the production offers to familiarize the club with one of the masterpieces of the drama, which is one of a long series of equally famous plays to be produced by the Edward Ewald Company, and granted permission for this special appearance."Old Heidelberg" will open at the St. Charles Theatre Monday evening, with matinees the following Saturday and Sunday.
